Third Day

Third day home, had the surgery on Friday. I am feeling pretty good. My mom is here and my husband is here being my warden LOL. Everytime I get up to go to the bathroom my Warden tells me to go back to bed. I love him and he is trying, it is cute.
My only problem I am having, is because my body has so little pain, I feel like I need to be up doing things. I am the caregiver, I take care of everyone and everything. Even in the hospital, I was apologizing to the nurse and CNA cause I asked for some water. I could not help it. I am trying not to do anything, as I am not allowed to anyway. I am just having a hard time letting everyone do things for me.
Does this get better??? I feel so lazy...I hate that feeling.

I feel your pain! I had my surgery on Thursday and I am in a little pain but for the most part pretty good considering a TAH. My hubby is the greatest as are all my friends. I feel a little lazy doing nothing, but I think I should enjoy this time because I believe that I could send myself into a relapse otherwise.

Enjoy the Warden and the relaxation.

You are so much like me! It's hard to sit, isn't it!! As you feel better, do a little, but please listen to your body and your warden and stop after you've done a little. There were a few days when I felt really well, did too much and then spent the next 2 days in bed! So be careful, and try to enjoy being waited on!

I have trouble sitting still too! But remember your body needs to rest to heal. And you have a wonderful hubby who wants to wait on you. Take advantage of the break!

Trust me the minute you do start doing stuff you will feel really bad, so two weeks stay in bed/sofa, drink loads of water and say Thank you that would be lovely everytime someone offers to do something / anything

And also once the painkillers completely wear off and you start getting feeling back, you will be in a little more discomfort. Which makes it a lot easier to sit back and do nothing.

I understand how you feel though, I am at 2 weeks post-op tomorrow and I am bored, bored, bored!
